June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[MiraclesHappn]

Aw squig I'm so glad your gut instinct was right and bub looks perfect in there!!

Beautiful scan pics all around! Now that everyone is having first scans or getting close to, it seems like gender scans are within reach and I'm just so excited to find out what everyone (those finding out) is having!

Welcome Tinky! I hope your scan goes well! When is your DS birthday?

 

[GeralynB]

Hi ladies, would it be ok if I joined? I'm almost 12 weeks and have my first scan next Wednesday so getting really nervous now.

Welcome! What's your due date?

 

[GeralynB]

3 more weeks until I find out the gender! Eek! I can't wait

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Booking went okay. Routine as expected. I went to great lengths to get a pee pot and bring a sample and then left the damn thing at home. So had to do one there anyways haha. Came home and checked the scan places website and they must have had a cancellation cos I managed to nab one for Sunday!!

SO nervous! Like I could cry nervous.

Oh edd she reckons is 29th June

 

[Tinky_82]

I'm due 19th June by my dates. My son's birthday is on the 11th so thir birthdays are likely to be pretty close.

Does anyone know anywhere in the UK that sells baby carriers/slings like the more funky ones not basic ones?..

it's really annoyed me getting coupons with bounty packs and there all in different countries so yes you get things free but shipping then adds up to nearly the item price anyway

Do you mean the ergonomic ones? Connecta are really popular and Slumber Roo do a good range. I help run our local sling Library and we have lots of discounts via referral codes so might be worth contacting your local one?

No proper bump here but definite bloat that increases as the day goes on and I can't fasten my trousers anymore. I can feel bump at the bottom because it's hard but I feel I'm still at the is she/isn't she stage at the moment.

Rhi I'm so glad you managed to get a scan! I was really struggling too before I had a scan. It's so hard to feel connected or make plans when you don't feel confident

Welcome and congrats tinky

Welcome Tinky xx

Rhi that's great you managed to get a scan.

I agree it's going fast, it seems strange that there will be lots of gender scans coming up now most of the 12-week scans have been done. I was thinking how weird it is that I could technically find out at the gender at the end of this month if I booked a private scan.

Also just noticed there's now an August bumps group, always feels strange when a new month appears!

 

[Boo44]

Anyone else having difficulty doing their trousers up?! Feel so big so quickly this time!

12hr shift today and tomorrow and I'm feeling particularly nauseous. Sigh wish it would shift!!!

 

[Boo44]

I've just read back all the bloat and bump and trouser comments - should have done that before i asked my question!!

Rhi so happy you got scanned! 29th June was my due date with my first son

 

[Squig34]

Glad your appointment went ok Rhi & you've managed to get a scan on Sunday my son's due date last year was 29th June

Yay Tinky, welcome!

Oh Vaniilla, that sucks, how disappointing! The past four days or so, I've still been nauseous in the evenings but it's much improved during the day; I hope you experience significant relief very soon!

 

[tinkerbelle93]

I thinkk I may be starting to show the slightest hint of a bump. Tummy is protruding ever so slightly even when it's not bloating. I hope it's the start of something.

My stomach feels a bit.. squished? I don't know, like there's this constant pressing and pressure on my bladder type thing?

Who's children still aren't STTN 100% of the time? My son sleeps through maybe 50% of the time, but the other half of the time he's up between 1-3 times per night. It just makes me feel very nervous that it will be the same story when baby is here and that I'll be up and down with 2 every night.

 

[AngelofTroy]

My son wakes about the same as yours, not every night but when he dies its up to 3 times a night, about 3 nights a week. Last night he got in with me at midnight and chatted away on and off all night until he was up at 5am, I'm exhausted!

This week some people (who i'd already told i was pregnant anyway) definitely noticed my bump.and couldn't believe how quickly it appeared. My tummy muscles split with DD and I never did anything to repair it so I was fully expecting to show really early. I will probably look ready to pop by 6 months my mw has referred my to physio so hopefully i can start working on those tummy muscles.

 

[karlilay]

Here's my bump....

 

[Boo44]

Aww that's so cute karlilay! I couldn't show mine as I'm spreading sideward too so I just look really podgy at the mo

 

[joo]

I am starting to get the wobbles about having a baby and preschooler to look after, everything is getting to me from getting us all.fed and dressed leaving the house, getting DD to nursery and then eventually school on time around breastfeeding/weaning, even panicked thinking forward to next Christmas how will I function as will probably still be up in the night! Anyone who has 2+ little ones, please reassure me xx

This is what mine looks like

Aw Joo don't worry, Madi was 23 months when Z was born, and I didn't struggle. And he was a hard baby. The worst thing I felt honestly was guilt because I had to split myself. But I just made time for her when he was asleep. Babies are so adaptable. This one will just slot into what you do already.

 

[Dory85]

18 months between my two and it wasn't easy but nowhere near as hard as I thought it would be. Breastfeeding was a godsend as it was an instant method of calming baby of toddler needed me.
I did find a sling a god send.
I got into the swing of things much quicker 2nd time round. My biggest worries were getting them both washed/dressed/bathed and eldest fed and ended up with no preparation time because Aaron was in and out of hospital until hubby went back to work but it went surprisingly well
